From artificial intelligence and tech innovations to the nation's political and cultural climate during a critical election year, our modern world is constantly changing in revolutionary ways. Among these changes has been a new level of polarization that has entered many aspects of American life. What can the past teach us about combatting polarization and adapting to a changing world? While there is no "correct" path, CNN host, Washington Post columnist, and bestselling author Fareed Zakaria says that you must embrace being open-minded and make compromises to find solutions. In this conversation with Open to Debate host and moderator-in-chief John Donvan, Zakaria discusses his book Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present.

In 2014, filmmaker Jessica Villerius met death row inmate, Clinton Young, who had been convicted of a double homicide. Convinced of his innocence, she filmed a documentary that, along with other new facts, led to Young’s execution being halted just eight days before it was due to take place.

Though they share many similar values, guidelines, and principles, Islam and Judaism have a long, complicated relationship that has led to tension between followers of the two religions. Citing the Quran, the Muslim holy book, other Islamic texts, and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East, some have labeled Islam antisemitic. Supporters of this view argue that certain Quranic verses, when taken literally or interpreted negatively, foster antisemitism in Muslim education systems and culture, which is used to justify negative stereotypes or hostility toward Jews. Opponents of this view dispute these charges and argue that many Quranic references to Jews are typically misinterpreted and must be understood in their historical and scholarly contexts. They also emphasize that throughout the past 1,500 years, many Muslim empires and countries have hosted thriving Jewish communities and both welcomed and respected the Jewish people. Is Islam antisemitic?

Marriage has long been considered a goal to aspire to and a conventional path to happiness. Over the last few decades, however, some have questioned the traditional view of marriage as the cornerstone of adult life. Changes in economic conditions, gender roles, and cultural values have fueled a reevaluation of whether marriage is still desirable or necessary for personal fulfillment and social stability. Those who believe it is better to get married argue that married people report better physical and mental well-being than single people and experience greater social and economic benefits. Those who believe it is better to be single argue that being single promotes independence, allows individuals to form decisions freely, makes it easier to create broader social networks and communities, and feel more fulfilled than they would if they were married. With everyone possessing the choice to seek marriage or not, is it better to be married or single?

Does the government have the right to pressure social media platforms to take down posts that spread dangerous misinformation, disinformation, and false claims that threaten public safety? Under the administration of President Joe Biden (D), various federal agencies—including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nation's leading health agency; the office of U.S. surgeon general Vivek Murthy; and the Federal Bureau of Investigation—communicated with several top social media platforms in an attempt to clamp down on such misinformation. Two states—Louisiana and Missouri—and five individuals sued these agencies, arguing that such efforts amounted to government censorship, and the case, Murthy v. Missouri, ended up before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2024. Supporters of the Biden administration's efforts argue that government officials communicated with social media companies only about content that posed a serious danger to public health and safety, such as inflammatory political conspiracy theories or lies about proper health measures during a pandemic. Administration officials, they contend, neither coerced social media platforms nor commandeered their decision making. Opponents of the Biden administration's effort argue that government officials pressured social media companies into silencing dissenting views on their platforms, violating the free speech rights of users who had their posts taken down. These actions, they contend, violate the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which protects freedom of speech and expression. In this mock trial, experts debate the issues of free speech, government, and misinformation on social media platforms.
